Biography
Lee Jung-eun is a celebrated South Korean actress, born on January 23, 1970, in Seoul. She pursued her passion for the arts by studying Theater and Film at Hanyang University, graduating in 1992. Her career began in theater, where she debuted as an assistant director in a 1991 production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." She remained active in theater throughout the 1990s and 2000s.
Lee transitioned to film with minor roles in "A Masterpiece In My Life" (2000) and "Wanee & Junah" (2001). She gained recognition for her performances in acclaimed films like "The Attorney" (2013), "A Violent Prosecutor" (2015), and "The Wailing" (2016). Her collaboration with director Bong Joon-ho was particularly significant, as she voiced the pig in "Okja" (2017) and portrayed the housekeeper Moon-gwang in the Oscar-winning film "Parasite" (2019).
Lee's versatility extends to television, where she has appeared in numerous dramas, including "Our Blues" (2022) and "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" (2021). Her talent has earned her multiple awards and international acclaim.
In the 2000s, while being active in theater, Lee also made a living as an acting teacher. Two of her pupils were Ye Ji Won and Lee Eun Joo.
